According to Hong Kong Wenhui news, it's difficult to be a mother, and it requires double efforts to be a mother of twins.

Cai Qiwen said that the rate for Hong Kong women to deliver twins has soared by 12.5 times for the past ten years from 1998 to 2008. At present, one pregnant woman out of 80 may deliver a pair of twins. She appeals the twins' mother to treat each twin as an individual and help them grow according to their own interest.

Auxiliary delivery technology has not only brought hope to the sterile couples, but also added to the chances of identical or non-identical twins, and made the number of twins soaring up.

It is estimated that there are more and more twins' mothers all over the world, especially in developed areas like America and Hong Kong. In the past 20 years, there was a growth of over 67% on the rate for global women to deliver twins. It was only 0.03% for natural twins. The rate for unnatural twins has grown by 0.21%.
